Delivery trucks are hard to transport and store once they're reported stolen. It'd be more sensible to just steal the packages on the truck.

The drone is "small", can be transported and stored without it being visible, so it get's lots of points there. Also I'd be concerned about stupid people/assholes and the shiny new drone.

That said, Cameras+GPS, not to mention you don't want to steal the drone if it's delivering to you because it'd be kinda obvious.

A better example could be electric scooters, which are indeed stolen sometimes, but apparently not enough to kill the various operator businesses (lime etc).

Delivery trucks (currently) have drivers which does complicate theft.

You know, I thought of a bunch of reasons why drones would be more likely to be stolen, but it never occurred to me that delivery trucks are accompanied by people.

A better example might be shopping trolleys.
